Hi All
I have installed the new Facebook application from the Microsoft Website and when I run the app, it allows me to place my username and password, but then crashes and make my phone slow. (To resolve the issue I have to switch off and switch the phone back on)
I did have the Facebook-Ather version and this work fine, but the new full version (Facebook_v1.0.0.7p) doesn't
Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known fix’s?
Thanks
I didnt have this problem, but after i installed mine, i didnt really like it.
So i uninstalled it, and im now using the Fim programme now, which allows
you to use the instant messenger and look at your web page at the same time. Its so much better. Hope this helps.
Id say try this app.

Just yesterday I found that you can not add new friends using the facebook application by searching their name or email address.
the 1.007 microsoft facebook suck biiiiiig time.
Mostly with me it just says "fetching" for every tab and never gets the job done. And it doesn't update the stuff.
So I use opera on my HD for that stuff, fast - but many things are missing on the mobile version, like foto upload.
When you go to All contacts on your phone and check there the updates - once you have given your userid and pwd - it seems to find the known contacts quite well.
abe
i have one answer: use Iris browser. not only i am enjoying the full functionality of facebook but i can even play mafia wars ...
i don't understand the obsession with Opera. yes, our HTC devices come with Opera built in but after 5 minutes with Iris...i forget Opera.
with Iris you can enjoy facebook even in iphone style. just try on Iris:http://iphone.facebook.com
Thanks, I have traid this and it seem to work well.

They haven't released any info on that yet. Maybe on the 24th they will say something.
It's lists like these that remind me how awesome this release is going to be. Every little feature is very welcome. Can't wait!

Finally starting to look like a smartphone. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
this is a great great post, can we make it a sticky so dotcompt can update as new info comes along?
All these 'feature' enhancements are useless if you cant keep your phone switched on for more than 8 hours.. I leave my home in morning at 10 AM fully charged and by time its 4PM my battery looses all its candles and by the time I get back home at like 6PM it starts giving me 'Critical battery level' warning.. and all this when I dont even use WIFI or listen to music.. just use it to store appointments check email and market rates and read news and check weather updates.. over 3G.. all day long I am always praying god, plz dont switch off my phone.. coz once it switches off its a pain in ass to charge it back again to the retstart level.. even once it reaches restart level I cant use my phone for next 30 mins and just let it sit and charge.. if I try to even send a text it immidiately switches off and another long wait follows..
With all these new feature and flipping of live tiles and multi-tasking which will be using some sort of cache to store your recently used applications, push notifications for third party apps, I am worried it might drain down my battery more..
These feature are great and wonderful.. their have been no other phone which has been as smart as this one in human history, but the 'Battery Enhancement' feature is most critical for me.
Or atleast in future release some new WP7 devices with greater battery capacity.. I would be more than willing to sell my Omnia for any new WP7 that comes out with a greater 'lithium?' capacity..
And BTW when was the last time we saw a new WP7 device coming to the market from manufacturers?? 6-8 months back.. that ASUS phone have been floating around since forever. I dont know when the heck will they release that phone in market.
Smartphones and chargers go together these days. You'll rarely find anybody, including many businessmen, who don't have a charger available everywhere they go. Especially considering the size of a lot of these WP7 screens, the battery is exceptional. I use the phone non-stop. I'm a Twitter addict, I use well over 13,000 texts a month, I make calls, etc and my battery lasts me the entire day. On days I use Netflix or constantly stream music I need to charge it on the go obviously, but other than that, it's fine. And I have the biggest screen of them all.
Also, about the camera settings... I really hope "saving" them is optional, because I actually agree with Microsoft and this whole reverting back to default stance. I don't want to open up the camera and have to disable a filter that I set the previous use... I really don't.

If battery life is that big of an issue for you, buy a charger for work as well as a spare battery for travel.
I have two batteries for my Focus, so if I'm traveling on a long trip and blow out one battery I can just pop another in. Also I have the option to charge it at work when needed

I use European phone in US, even though Expansys did sent me a plug to convert the charger but my wall charger dosent charge my phone at all.. thats why they gave me a free car charger as a note of 'apologises'... i dont drive so I dont know if that car charger works or not..
As for the USB cable of my Omnia I can see how small it is built so that i can carry it with me all the time.. but the thing is USB cable too dosent really charges your phone and just perhaps keep it away from discharging more power... the only time USB cable charges your phone is when you have zune running and cable hooked in.. someone can test this.. because sometimes at night when I plugged in my USB and hibernated my laptop in morning I wake up to see the same or less battery level, but not fully charged or more than when I left it in plugged.. when I leave my laptop running with zune running it fully charges in 8 hour or so..
I am not sure if its like that for others, but my battery level dosent rise if I plug in the USB to a computer without zune or to a comp with zune but in hibernate mode..

I've heard that from a few people, I personally I have never charged any phone through a USB port... Just don't like to, so I can't really give you my input. But, if your phone is dying that fast with as minimal usage as you say, maybe something else is up, because a lot of users have actually praised the battery life. I'm also fortunate that I have chargers everywhere I go, your situation is a bit more complicated though.
Can this discussion be taken to a more appropriate thread? It's an important topic, but it doesn't really have anything to do with the discussion of upcoming Mango features.

I think your phone is borked. My Focus had great battery life, and my HTC Arrive will go two days with emails checking every 15, both data/wifi, tons of internet, some music, and gaming, etc.

The problem is data connection. If i disable it, i can use my phone for 3-4 days without recharging.
And you can recharge phone trough USB (no Zune), but it takes long time.
WM6-6.5 disconnect data connection if not in use, don`t know why can`t they make it like thad.
15 posts in and we're at battery life already? Battery life is fine. Omnia hits battery far harder than any of the HTCs I've used but I can use my pro 7 at work all day taking calls, go out running for 1.5hrs that night with endomondo running and listening to music and it will still last me through the morning. My HD2 would have kerploded.
as for the little title at the top of this page - I cannot wait. APIs are gonna be huge and I can't wait to see the different apps created as a result. IE will be a massive boost too with HTML5 support.

Do you like your 7 pro? I have an Evo, but that is the only sprint WP7 available (as you know) right now.. My upgrade is coming up in August, and idk if I should hold out for a different WP7 (mango ready).
Sorry op, I know I am off topic, but I want some good information on the phone.
Wont happen again.

I had an Evo...still kinda have it in my possession (gave it to my mom) and now i have the Arrive. Its pretty insane. Battery life is much better...and the feel. WP7 just has that feel too it...the screen seems silky smooth...so responsive. The keyboard is pretty insane too, nice thing to use in the sunlight. Smaller screen but going from the Evo to the Arrive...you'll type so fast on the Arrive it'd be ridiculous.
But by the time its August hopefully there will be newer phones...whether or not those phones will have better specs on Sprint...i'm not sure. I'm still kinda new to this whole WP7 thing. Thats why I love this thread...everyone said Mango would be huge but I just had no idea...
I see in one video, that in mango you can search one app of your app list with a "search button".
They includen a organizacion based in alfabethical name with leters (like contacts hub).
This is a BAD method (for me) because with a large list of aplication you dont remember the name of aplication. In other cases the name is not intuitive (example: flory for gtalk cliente).
The posibility of create forlders (or cathegories) will be better than this "order" method.
I cand belive that microsoft don´t think on it!
As probably this Mango will not introduce any kind of file explorer
And probably no Bluetooth transfer of files,
What do we know about:
* Multiple docs send in one email (instead of idiotic one doc per email)
* Docs transfer by Zune
* Outlook desktop sync?
I am coming from a windows phone and I'm looking for an app to work with a excel spreadsheet. Ive seen doc to go and a couple of others but their between 10 and 15 dollars. Is there something simple on the cheap?
QuickOffice Pro was always my go to app, but its not working with ICS yet...
Documents to go and Quick office pro BOTH work for me fine on the gnex.. I've been using it since day one to create spread sheets.
thanks for the suggestions
Google Docs
I'm using OfficeSuite on the GN. It works fine. It provides the most on screen options without having to go through menus (like bolt, italics, underline, justification, etc.). You can tab between worksheets... its nice. I got it for free @ Amazon Appstore...
Google is probably holding back with Google Now, not wanting to scare people away by releasing too many features too soon that show just how much it knows about us. Here are my ideas:
1. Send to Now – As you browse the web or read a book, you could highlight words or people’s names to Google Now so it loads up information about them for you to read through later.
2. Photos – when you take a photo of a landmark, Google Now could load a card with information about the landmark. I think Google Goggles already does this but now would be a better platform.
3. People – when you take or scan a photo of a person or their business card, Google Now could load up a card in the background with their LinkedIn or G+ profile.
4. Things – scan a barcode or object and Now loads up information (price, retailers etc) about it. Again, just like Goggles but better.
5. Rules – Google could let us write rules to trigger cards. For example, I could ask Now to pop up a card reminding me to take my groceries from the fridge in my office when I start my car (connect to my car’s Bluetooth) at work on a Friday evening. I already kind of do this with an app called Automate It by the way – it’s similar to Tasker.
6. Networking – Google Now could load profile cards of people nearby who have opted in to the networking feature.
7. Second Screen – Google Now when prompted could listen to what’s playing on your TV and offer more information about the programme. It could even offer links to purchase products advertised on TV or radio.
8. Related Articles – As you browse the web, Google Now could build up a list in the background of other articles related to those you have read and you could later review the list at your leisure - rating, reading and/or discarding the suggestions as you see fit.
9. Conversations - This one is a little scarier than the others and I’m not sure I would opt in to it myself, but Google Now could listen in on your phone and email conversations and provide related information – links to products you discussed or articles about concepts or news mentioned. As I say, I think I’d pass on this one.
10. Custom Cards – Google could let retailers or even websites build custom cards that are loaded when you check-in to their stores or visit their websites. These cards could include special offers and promotions, best-selling items etc. I imagine Google could even charge businesses for such a service if it were so inclined.
In all of this it would be important that they are opt in only – opt out wouldn’t be good enough. Also, Google Now should always remain non-intrusive but perhaps one should be allowed to set which cards should pop up as notifications, cause the phone to vibrate or simply load in the background. I might want a reminder to trigger a notification by the way but for others I may be happy to ignore or review at my convenience. By the way, I haven’t seen or used Google Now yet so if I’ve completely misunderstood how it works or could work, this is my excuse.
Oh and I apologise in advance if this is not the right forum – I couldn’t immediately find a better one and I see others have posted about Google Now here too, I guess since the G Nex is one of only two devices with it on at the moment.
What are your ideas for Google Now?

Isn't Calendar already integrated? I see reminders for my calendar entries in Now. Don't know about setting events via Now though, since it isn't completely functional in German / other languages than US english.
On topic, OP has some great ideas! Hope to see some of the less scary integrated
Really? I thought reminders were only within the alarm app... I will have to double check...

I see a reminder for this evening right now, it's definitely integrated
there was a interview with matias, and he confirmed that there is calendar feature, only reading from it.
there isn't any feature to create a calendar entry from NOW. but he emphasise that the API exist and all down to developers.
maybe hinting that its possible for 3rd party developer to write some custom card that can be installed?
I would love to be able to teach Google Now how to pronounce my name, placenames in my area etc. so that dictation works better.
Having said that, I find the accuracy of the dictation to be outstanding for most other things. I love GN!
There are so many possiblilities to this feature. I can't wait to see how it evolves over time. I actually use it quite a bit more than I thought I would. It makes a simple task so much easier, such as setting an alarm! Being able to set calendar appointments would be amazing though!

I think they're referring to that you can't use now to create a calendar event. If you want it to remind you of something, it can only set an alarm for you.
Music, it should tell you when an artist you like has a new single or album coming out, and if they are going to be playing a show withing X miles of your location. Or have just announced a tour etc.
Media, it should tell you when a new movie or video game is being released and give ratings for it and such.
I like idea number one, maybe adding in a dictionary for certain words, although that may be part of what your talking about.
That's one of the nice things I like about reading books on my Ipad. You can highlight a word in a book you're reading and, it will define the word.

Well for the concert notification, I stumbled upon an app called song kick. Which will scrap your Google music and pandora ( maybe something else too) and email you when an artist you liked or own content from is touring near you.

It should show a card every monday, wednesday, friday morning when I first unlock my device with the day's XKCD comic and the mousover text.
Keeping tabs on movie releasedates would be nice too. Google "The dark knight rises" and on the release day it shows up on a card with the theatre times for your cities movie theatres.

Excellent idea. The more media related info the better imo.
One more feature I'd like to see is the ability to send a time or location based reminder to someone else. The person can then choose to accept the reminder or not. I suspect Apple will do this soon if they haven't already. The reminder could then appear in Google Now along with any notes the sender included.

Integration with Tripit.
Integrate with Tripit directly to send reminders of all the little tripit events you have, check-in, check-out, flights, etc.
I want there to be an actual notes app for which Google Now can create a note and save it.
